I keep thinking that I should take pictures of Isaac when he is asleep in his La-Z-Boy and I always forget to take something upstairs with me to take a picture with. I remembered my camera earlier this week and here is Isaac sleeping, in one of his more normal positions:
Then, of course, I took a picture of Mackenzie as well:
Mackenzie has made a canopy on her bed (really her dad made it) by putting a fitted sheet over her headboard and footboard, thus the extra flowers over her.
This weekend we opened up our new tent. I ordered it and it is an 8 person tent. I knew that an 8 person tent would need to be large, but I didn't realize just how large. Here is a shot of it set up in our living room:
Even Brian can stand up in it which means it is over 6 foot tall and although I would argue that 8 people couldn't sleep well in the tent, I guess they could lie down next to each other in it.
Here is a shot of the kids lying in it:
As an example of my practical oldest child, Mackenzie went into the tent with blankets, a pillow, kleenex, a flashlight, a book as well as about a dozen stuffed animals and baby dolls. Isaac on the other hand has his sleeping bag, a pillow and about 4 stuffed animals.
They thought that sleeping in the tent was pretty fun.
Today I divided up my huge mum plants. I divided one into 8 piece and the other into about 6. I am hoping that all of the pieces survive and look nice. Hopefully I did it right. Our blueberry and strawberry plants also seem to be coming back nicely, so hopefully we will have homegrown strawberries this summer (or at least the birds will). The blueberries are supposed to take one more year before they actually produce berries and to be honest I am not sure I have prepared the soil properly. So we shall see next year.
People keep asking about Nero, so here is a shot of him just a few minutes ago. We wore him out this weekend. Our obedience class yesterday was supposed to be 2 hours long and we were there almost 3 hours, so he didn't get much sleep in the late morning and early afternoon and we were pretty busy until dinner time, so he was pretty exhausted by then. Today Mackenzie walked around with the dog most of the morning putting together a show and then they performed the show, which seemed to really wear him out and then this afternoon he was napping when Mackenzie came in to say the neighbor dog, Lily was out so he went out and played with Lily for a while. So here is a tired 40 pound Nero on the kitchen floor:
He is going in for surgery (nuetered) on Wednesday. I am feeling a bit guilty about it already, but everyone suggests we do it, so I am following the advice of those more knowledgable. Hopefully it is the right decision.
